Guy Bartkus, 25, died after a bomb he set off outside a Palm Springs fertility clinic not only killed him but injured five others. Authorities attribute the act to his antinatalist perspective, which posits that life is inherently suffering. Bartkus attempted to livestream the incident and had previously expressed his disdain for life through various online platforms, suggesting he viewed his actions as a mission. His ideologies, linked to anti-life sentiment and promortalism, have sparked discussions on the implications of such beliefs in relation to terrorism and public safety.
The subject had nihilistic ideations and this was a targeted attack. Bartkus was attempting to live stream the attack, and all embryos in the facility were saved.
Basically I'm anti-life. And IVF is like kind of the epitome of pro-life ideology.
Authorities say Guy Bartkus... set off an explosion in a car outside American Reproductive Centers, injuring five people and killing himself.
Nihilists believe that life is meaningless. While promortalists and antinatalists also don't value human life, Bartkus' views were distinct from nihilism because of his belief he was on a mission.
